How to Get Pixel 6 Magic Eraser Working On Your Smartphone
- First, you just need to download Split APKs Installer (SAI) from the Google Play Store.
- Then download the Google Photos APK file. Note that simply downloading it from APK Mirror won’t work. It needs to be a specific version overtook from Pixel 6 (so use the links on this page).
- Now, open SAI, tap “Install APKs” and select “System File Picker.” You’ll need to grant it permission to access your files on your device.
- You will need to find and select the Google Photos .apks file you’ve just downloaded.
- Hit “Install” and allow SAI to install unknown apps. A pop-up will take you to the right settings screen.
- Click “Update” in the system install prompt.
- Open Google Photos and enjoy Magic Eraser! The feature becomes available on the Edit Button. It’s inside the Tools section.
Since this feature is made exclusively for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, we don’t know how long this bypass procedure would last. So, you might want to try using the Magic Eraser feature as soon possible. It’s possible for Google to simply remove compatibility in a future update.
